Miscellaneous Provisions

Your Responsibility

You understand that you are solely responsible for (and that Polar has no responsibility to you or to any third party for) any breach of your obligations under these Terms and for the consequences (including any loss or damage which Polar may suffer) of any such breach.

Compliance with Law

You agree that you will not use our Site for activities prohibited by state, federal, or your country’s law or other applicable rules or regulations. You represent and warrant that: (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

Polar makes no claims regarding our Site outside of the United States. If you access our Site from outside the United States, you do so at your own risk and are responsible for compliance with the laws of your jurisdiction.

Agreement

These Terms constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and Polar with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, inducements, and conditions expressed or implied, oral or written, of any nature whatsoever with respect to the subject matter hereof. These Terms shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of you and Polar, our successors, and assigns. These Terms and your user account may not be assigned with our express, prior written consent which may be withheld at our sole discretion.

Notices under these Terms shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when: (i) delivered personally or by a respected international carrier; (ii) three (3) business days after the date sent by certified mail, postage prepaid with return receipt requested.

Governing Law

These Terms and the resolution of any dispute related to the terms of these Terms or our Site shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law.

Arbitration; Collection; Venue

Except as provided below, any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms will be settled by arbitration in Hennepin County, Minnesota, at a time and location designated by the arbitrator.

Arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Rules of Commercial Arbitration, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator will be selected from a panel of persons having experience with and knowledge of the third-party administrator industry.

Nothing herein contained will bar either party from seeking equitable remedies in a court of appropriate jurisdiction; in addition, Polar reserves the right to bring any infringement of our intellectual property rights in a court of appropriate jurisdiction. Polar shall be entitled to decrees of specific performance (without posting bond or other security) in addition to such other remedies as may be available.

If Polar successfully enforces these Terms under arbitration or court action, you must pay reasonable costs and expenses of the arbitration or other action, including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs. Any legal action related to these Terms or our Site shall be brought in a state or federal court of competent jurisdiction sitting in Hennepin County, Minnesota.

Class-Action Waiver; Jury Waiver

You agree that any claims or proceedings brought by you relating to our Site will be conducted on an individual basis, and not on a class-wide, collective, or representative basis and that any one person’s claims or proceedings may not be consolidated with any other claims or proceedings. You will not sue Polar as a class plaintiff or class representative, join as a class member, or participate as an adverse party in any way in a class-action lawsuit against Polar. Nothing in this paragraph, however, limits your right to file a claim as an individual plaintiff. You expressly waive your right to a trial by jury relating to our Site which is the subject of these Terms and all of your claims are subject to mandatory arbitration as noted above.

No Waiver; Severability

Polar’s failure to insist upon strict enforcement of any provision(s) of these Terms shall not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. Should any provision of these Terms be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity will not invalidate the whole of these Terms, but rather that invalid provision will be amended to achieve as nearly as possible the same economic effect as the original provision and the remainder of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.

Right to Modify

Please note that Polar reserves the right to modify these Terms and your continued use of our Site after the date of this change will mean you are subject to such modified Terms. If you do not agree to these changes, do not use our Site.
